You can

You can learn, and adapt, and adjust, and persist. You can decide what must be done and take the action that will make it happen.

You can set ambitious goals for yourself and then do what is necessary to reach them. You can dream incredible, meaningful dreams and then make them real.

You can stumble a dozen or a hundred times and keep getting back up until you stumble no more. You can come up against tough, stubborn challenges and then find a way to work through them.

You can live each moment with integrity in a world that seems not to always value it. You can experience real joy and spread it to others.

You can create value and appreciate beauty. You can follow your highest vision.

As the old year draws to a close and a new one begins, keep in mind that you can do all this and more. You can and, if you choose, you will.
